In Chapter 13 Celia tried to convince Zach that there was not a meaningful relationship between how closely your partner matches your ideal and your willingness to entertain other relationships. She did this knowing that Alice closely matched Zach’s ideal. The model summarized in Output 14.10 shows what happens when you build a model to predict openness to alternative relationships (alternatives) from both how much your partner matches your ideal (ideal), and also the benefits you see in your current relationship (benefit). This model uses the data in Table 13.4. How might Celia use this model to get Zach to consider a relationship with her instead of Alice?
